Man threatened to kill 'traitor' Alina Habba, DOJ says

Federal judges voted and decided not to extend Alina Habba’s months-long tenure as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor, and the court appears to be well within its legal authority to do so, regardless of what certain higher-ups in President Donald Trump’s DOJ have said and done thus far about it.

As this story was being written, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi posted on X in support of Habba, announcing her court-appointed replacement, Desiree Grace, “has just been removed,” but Bondi did not immediately elaborate on who did the removal and on what authority.

“@USAttyHabba has been doing a great job in making NJ safe again. Nonetheless, politically minded judges refused to allow her to continue in her position, replacing Alina with the First Assistant,” Bondi wrote. “Accordingly, the First Assistant United States Attorney in New Jersey has just been removed.”

Trump’s former Mar-a-Lago case and hush-money trial criminal defense attorney and now Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, separately provided more information, citing “the President’s authority.”

“The district judges in NJ just proved this was never about law—it was about politics. They forced out President Trump’s pick, @USAttyHabba, then installed her deputy, colluding with the NJ Senators along the way. It won’t work,” he wrote. “Pursuant to the President’s authority, we have removed that deputy, effective immediately. This backroom vote will not override the authority of the Chief Executive.”

How on earth did we get here?

Habba had served as a legal spokeswoman and one of the attorneys for private citizen Trump through his New York civil fraud trial, E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit, and more before she parlayed those losses into a counselor to the president role and a position as acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. She was appointed by Bondi on an interim basis nearly 120 days ago, the limit for acting appointments to serve under the relevant statute.

Although Trump has nominated Habba to serve permanently as U.S. attorney, the administration has not been able to get that nomination off the ground in the U.S. Senate before her acting stint’s expiration, leaving Habba at the mercy of judges in the meantime.

To hear Blanche tell it, the move from the court was another example of unhinged left-wing activism.

“The district court judges in NJ are trying to force out @USAttyHabba before her term expires at 11:59 p.m. Friday,” Blanche posted on X. “Their rush reveals what this was always about: a left-wing agenda, not the rule of law. When judges act like activists, they undermine confidence in our justice system. Alina is President Trump’s choice to lead—and no partisan bench can override that.”
